They said it was an "emergency" and took money out of her reserve fund for the maintenance man, the PM to "supervise the emergency," and the electrician and of course, the new electrical breaker box.If they'd called my daughter she would have said, "Just tell her not to plug in 50 hair dryers at the same time."
